Upon hearing that Liu Yue was of little use, Chu Tianling ordered her to be taken away and locked up.
The number of applicants continued to increase. Seeing the lively atmosphere below, Shen Jiaojiao said to Zhou Tianqi:
"Tianqi! You should sign up too. If you defeat all these people in the end, I'll make you a general."
Zhou Tianqi glanced at Chu Tianling, saw him nod, and then turned to register.
Upon hearing this, Chu Tianling realized it was indeed a good opportunity.
Then he said to the guards he had brought from the capital, "And you, if you are interested, you can sign up. This is indeed a rare opportunity, there are many vacancies, so those who want to go should sign up."
Most of the guards who came with them were from the capital and didn't want to be far from home, so not many of them signed up.
Ning Caichen is different. He is not from the capital and has always wanted to become an official. This is a good opportunity for him.
If you're not good at martial arts, being a strategist is a good alternative!
"I want to sign up too!" He turned around and ran happily toward the registration area.
After registration closed, a space was set aside on the grounds where all the registered participants gathered.
The exam was very simple: people competing for the same position would compete one-on-one, and the winner would stay.
With everyone watching, there was no possibility of fraud, and the selected individuals were recognized by everyone.
Zhou Tianqi was the only one who signed up to be a general. After all the junior officers were selected, Zhou Tianqi stood out conspicuously on the side.
Chu Tianling looked at the people below. After a day of competition, their overall condition had improved considerably.
At least they're full of energy and passion.
He stood on the platform and said to the people below, "Next is the appointment of the general. I know that you do not know Tianqi and do not know much about him."
"It is indeed a bit abrupt to make him a general right away. In order to convince everyone, we allow everyone to challenge him, one-on-one or not."
The moment those words were spoken, the crowd below erupted in cheers.
It was even more exciting than watching those young players compete against each other.
No need for one-on-one, that means it can be a group fight!
Without even waiting for the word "start," several people who were nearby rushed at him simultaneously without saying a word.
Zhou Tianqi was caught off guard at the beginning and was successfully ambushed by the two men.
Then he went all out.
He was born with superhuman strength, so taking on ten people at once was no problem for him. Now that he was unleashing his power, he was like a powder keg, throwing all the people hanging on him out of the way.
As more and more people gathered, he pushed the weapon rack, looked around, picked up an enormous hammer, and raised it high.
Everyone was startled and retreated.
Zhou Tianqi didn't hit anyone; instead, he slammed his foot heavily onto the floor.
With a loud bang, the floor cracked open.
Good heavens, what's the point of fighting now!
So, throwing Tianmen out just now actually brought it back in.
If that hammer hits you, you'll be turned into a meat pie.
Zhou Tianqi made a slight move, immediately calming the crowd down. This time, no one had any objections to him becoming a general; they were completely convinced.
"Alright, that's all for today. From today onwards, Zhou Tianqi will be the general of this army. I will write the memorial today and report everyone's positions."
"Don't be discouraged, everyone. There will be tasks assigned to you tomorrow. Promotion and wealth are not just a dream. Keep up the good work, everyone!"
The crowd below cheered.
Chu Tianling requisitioned the former general's tent, immediately wrote a memorial and sent it to the capital, finalizing everyone's positions.
After a nice dinner, Chu Tianling sat in the seat of honor, with Shen Jiaojiao sitting next to him.
Zhou Tianqi has become a general and is sitting in the first seat below him.
The table was piled high with food for him; he never imagined that as a general, he could eat even better and more.
Upon seeing the food, his initial dissatisfaction vanished completely, and he happily accepted the fact that he had become a general.
Ning Caichen applied to be his military advisor. Since no one else in the army had signed up, he was the only one, and he also knew Zhou Tianqi.
Everyone felt that if the general was such a powerful person, then his friends must also be very powerful, so they all agreed on his identity.
He was sitting right next to Zhou Tianqi, and they would be spending a lot of time together in the future, so it was important to maintain a good relationship.
Seeing everyone enjoying the meal, Shen Jiaojiao's mood improved: "That's great! We have more manpower now."
Chu Tianling nodded in agreement; it was time for the Liu family to step down.
Early the next morning, led by Zhou Tianqi, 20,000 troops headed straight for the Liu family residence.
The soldiers were dressed in neat uniforms, with Zhou Tianqi leading the charge on a tall horse.
Chu Tianling reverted to his true male appearance, wearing splendid clothes and following behind.
Shen Jiaojiao, however, was dressed in men's clothing and had a serious expression.
Since it's for serious business, it's more convenient to move around in men's clothing.
People lined both sides of the street, watching them with curiosity.
…
The head of the Liu family had already received the news. Although he had money and had secretly trained some people to serve him, Chu Tianling was now directly revealing his identity.
The ruler commands the subject to die, but he has no desire to die.
He even wanted to kill Jun.
Although it is somewhat rebellious.
However, he had been making arrangements for this step for many years, starting with sending Liu Sisi to the palace.
His current status is not an advantage over Chu Tianling, as he had previously received news that Prince An had been assigned to Lingnan.
This Prince An, Chu Tianyang, has the bloodline of the Liu family!
Moreover, Lingnan is only a few days away from here. He can easily support his own family member to take the throne in Lingnan. In that case, the royal family will be the Liu family's domain in the future.
To put it bluntly, the Liu family residence is just a few rooms; as long as people are alive, anything is possible.
So back when Shen Jiaojiao and the others were still competing in martial arts to select a general on the mountain.
The head of the Liu family had already secretly arranged for someone to take the belongings and leave discreetly.
They took away Liu Da, Liu Bingbing, all the managers in the mansion, and those gold and silver cells.
When Zhou Tianqi stood at the entrance of the Liu family's residence and shouted inside.
No one inside agreed.
"His Highness the Crown Prince has arrived! Why haven't you come out to greet him yet!"
Five minutes passed and still no one came.
They were about to open the door and go inside.
Suddenly the ground rippled, followed by a loud noise.
"Boom boom boom"
The Liu family mansion collapsed instantly.
Shen Jiaojiao and the others were so close that their ears hurt from the shock and they couldn't stand up straight, so they lay on the ground.
When they got up again more than ten minutes later, the house had been completely reduced to ruins.
Chu Tianling stood by the ruins, lost in thought as he looked at the completely collapsed houses.
What is this?
How can it have such great power?
Shen Jiaojiao stood up and patted the dust off her clothes: "What's wrong?"
"This is the first time I've ever seen such a powerful weapon. How did they manage to do that?"
Shen Jiaojiao blurted out without thinking, "Oh! You've never seen gunpowder before?"
Chu Tianling stared at her intently: "No, if we had such a powerful weapon, we would have unified the world long ago."
Shen Jiaojiao then realized that there was no gunpowder in this time and space.
So, who took this out?
